Joystick Control Unit
(JCU II)
August 2020
System Description
432-0012-01-10 Version 110 10
M500 Components:
• Main camera body, also known as the pan/tilt camera unit
• Joystick Control Unit (JCU II), compatible with the MU, MV, M400, and M500 camera systems
• Ethernet switch with power over Ethernet (PoE) to power the JCU II and network to the camera
• Analog and/or digital video monitors (customer supplied)
• Personal computer (PC) to control and configure the system (customer supplied)
The M500 camera body and JCU II are network devices. In some installations, additional M500
cameras and/or additional JCU II may also be used.
The camera body’s pan/tilt mechanism allows the operator to rotate 360° in azimuth, tilt +/– 90° in
elevation. The camera body houses the two cameras, and the LED spotlight. The cyrocooler
requires approximately six minutes to cool the thermal sensor before IR video is usable.
Note: If the IR video is not required as an instant on feature, use the cooler On/Off control to
lower power usage and extend the cooler lifetime. See “IR cooler:” on page 28.
The JCU II is the primary control for the camera. The JCU II is used to wake the system or put it in
standby, select the active camera, operate the pan and tilt movement of the camera, zoom the
active camera, control the M500 modes and features, and configure the system settings by means
of OSD menus.
The JCU II has buttons, an LCD display, and the joystick. The joystick can be moved left and right
or forward and back, and rotated in either direction. “M500 Joystick Control Unit” on page 16
describes the functions of the JCU II in detail.
The M500 uses on-screen icons to indicate the camera position (azimuth and elevation) and
various system settings that have been enabled. These symbols are introduced in “Thermal Video
Display” on page 11 and are further explained throughout this manual in the discussion of related
functions.
Multiple Cameras, Joysticks, and Other Devices:
More than one JCU II can be used to control the camera, and more than one display can be used
to view the video. A personal computer (PC) on the same network as the camera, can use a web
browser to view video, control, and configure the system. The camera’s web server uses password
protected accounts to control access to camera functions. Using a PC is described in the M500
Installation Guide.
Also, a single JCU II can be used to select and control more than one camera. In this case, a
menu on the JCU II lists available cameras. In the LCD display of the JCU II, the name of the
currently selected camera is displayed. When more than one JCU II is installed in the network, a
camera will respon JCU II that has the camd to commands from any era selected.
Typically, a JCU II and a video monitor are mounted in close physical proximity, as a pair, so you
can immediately see the changes on the video screen when you use the JCU II to change the
camera position (pan or tilt).
Contact FLIR Systems, Inc. for more information regarding available accessories including PoE
equipment, video distribution amplifiers, cables, connectors, mounting hardware, etc. Contact
information is listed on the back of this manual.

Thermal Video Display
432-0012-01-10 Version 110 11
Thermal Video Display
The infrared (IR) imaging thermal camera relies on the fact that all objects, even very cold objects
like ice, emit thermal energy in the portion of the infrared spectrum that the camera can see.
Therefore, unlike an illuminated infrared camera, the thermal imaging camera does not need an
additional active illumination source and images are based on directly radiated energy rather than
reflected energy.
When the thermal camera is in white-hot mode, the warm objects in the scene are shown as white,
or lighter shades of gray, and cold objects are shown as black or darker shades of gray. When the
video polarity is switched, this is reversed.
This is why hot objects such as parts on a running outboard motor appear white (or black or red
depending on the video image mode selected), while the water or other cold objects appear dark
(or cool). Scenes with familiar objects will be easy to interpret with some experience. The camera
automatically optimizes the image to provide the best contrast in most conditions.
Video Screen Icons
Depending on the system settings, various symbols are shown on the screen. Some of these icons
are always shown on the screen, and some appear momentarily or only when certain functions are
enabled or executed. The icons can be shown as white or red. See “Display icons:” on page 28 for
a description of menu options and the displayed icons.
The following figures illustrate some of the icons displayed by the system, as well as an example
of the OSD menu that is shown when the Menu button is pressed. Using the menus is described in
“M500 System Configuration” on page 20.
A complete list of all of the icons used in the system and a brief description of how they are used
can be found in “List of Icons” on page 37.

Position indicator icons
The azimuth position indicator shows the direction the camera is
pointing relative to the vessel. The shaded triangle shows the
approximate camera field of view (FOV).
The elevation position indicator shows the vertical tilt of the
camera above or below the horizontal plane of the vessel.
Scene Preset icons
The Scene button on the JCU II cycles through four preset
automatic gain control (AGC) settings, which change the image
brightness and contrast settings. Regardless of the scene setting,
the thermal camera automatically adjusts to the scene to provide a
balanced, high-quality image. However, you may prefer an image
that has more or less contrast than the default one provided, and
the Scene button provides that type of fine adjustment.
Active Camera Icons
At any given time, either the thermal camera (IR) or the HD
visible-light camera is designated as the Active camera. The Active
camera responds to commands such as zoom or focus that could
apply to either camera. Pressing the CAMERA button on the
JCU II toggles the active camera between the thermal camera and
the HD visible-light camera.
On-Screen-Display (OSD) Menu
The OSD menu appears when the Menu button on the JCU II is pressed. Menu entries are
selected using the joystick and the joystick buttons. Pressing the Menu button again removes the
menu from the screen.

M500 System Startup
System Startup and Shutdown
The M500 camera does not have an on/off switch. Instead, its power state is controlled by the
JCU II. Generally, the camera is never completely off but in a Park mode or standby state waiting
for a “wake” command from the JCU II.
The M500 system is connected to power through a circuit breaker, which functions as the primary
on/off switch for the system. To completely shut down the system, first park the camera and then
turn off the circuit breaker. In normal operation, the camera will have power and will be in one of
four states:
• Bootup, or powering on
• Powered on and fully functional
• Park mode, powered on with video turned off
• Standby, a low-power state waiting for a wake command
Park Mode
When the system is in Park mode, the camera does not generate a live video signal. After the
bootup is complete or when done using the system, Park the camera from the OSD menu to keep
the system ready to use at a moments notice.
The Bootup Process
The bootup process is slightly different depending on whether the system has been completely
turned off or is being wakened from a standby state. Most of what happens, however, is the same.
Powering the Camera
During bootup, a series of screens are shown as various
components are activated. How the screen looks will vary
depending on the particular configuration settings of your
installation. In general, the following sequence occurs:
1. If starting from a full shutdown, make sure the monitor is
turned on, then power on the system.
2. The FLIR splash screen is shown, then live video from the
visible camera is shown with boot progress indications.
3. When the bootup is complete (about 6 minutes), the
monitor shows the welcome message, and icons and the OSD menus are enabled.
Important: Do not turn on the JCU II until the message “Welcome System is ready for use” is
shown. Fully establishing a connection may take up to four minutes. Please be patient while the
system verifies each component.

JCU II Power Menu
432-0012-01-10 Version 110 14
Powering the JCU II
When the JCU II is receiving power, the Power button will
be lit amber. When the button is pressed for
approximately three seconds, the JCU II will turn on and
search for cameras on the network.
On the LCD screen, Starting, then Searching… is
shown. When a camera is found, the message changes
to Connecting…, which continues to flash until the
process completes and is replaced by the camera ID,
such as M500. When more than one camera is found on
the network, the JCU II attempts to reconnect to the last
camera it was connected to, or if it has not connected to a
camera, it will prompt the user to select a camera.
JCU II Power Menu
The JCU II LCD screen generally shows the ID of the camera that is connected to the JCU II. The
various functions are accessed from a set of menus, with each menu entry selectable in the JCU II
display. When powered on and connected to a camera, pressing and holding the Power button
causes the JCU II to enter the Power Menu.
Use the JCU II joystick to scroll up and down (push fore
and aft), and select an entry by clicking the left joystick
button. (JCU II with newer software may use either the
left or right joystick button to select items in the power
menu.)
In the JCU II display, a down arrow (v) indicates you
can access additional menu choices by moving the
joystick down. An up arrow (^) indicates the last menu
entry is displayed, and the other choices must be
accessed by moving the joystick up. A double arrow
indicates you can move up or down in the menu.
Depending on the configuration of the camera network,
multiple cameras, or multiple JCU II, the Power Menu
can show the following menu options:
Assign JCU?
JCU Stndby?
Camera Stndby?
System Stndby?
Global Stndby?
Calibrate JCU?
Cancel
Standby States
When finished with the camera, Park the camera from the OSD menu to keep the system ready to
use at a moments notice on a command from the JCU II. When in Park mode, the system does not
generate a live video signal.
To initiate other standby modes, press and hold the Power button. After a brief countdown, the
Power Menu is shown. Scroll down with the joystick and press the left joystick button to select an

option from the menu. The menu options available will reflect the available hardware on the
camera network.
• JCU Stndby?—select to power down the JCU II.
• Camera Stndby?—select to power down the camera, leaving the JCU II powered
to connect to a different camera.
• System Stndby?—select to power down the camera and the JCU II.
• Global Stndby?—select to power down all the cameras and all the JCU II present on the
network.
Troubleshooting Tip: If the JCU II does not have power, it may be connected to a Power over
Ethernet (PoE) switch that has not been powered on, or it may be connected to a network switch
that does not provide PoE power.
Troubleshooting Tip: If this is the first time the JCU II has been used to connect to the camera, or
if the camera was not powered before the JCU II, v Select Camera is shown on the LCD
screen. Scroll down with the joystick to select a camera to control. When the ID of the camera
appears, press the left joystick button to select it. The camera ID will blink momentarily to indicate
it has been selected.

M500 Joystick Control Unit
Introduction
The Joystick Control Unit (JCU II) is the primary method of
controlling the M500 camera. Use it to move the camera, zoom the
camera, switch between infrared and visible-light cameras, adjust
image settings, and access the on-screen menus.
This chapter describes how to use the JCU II buttons to operate the
camera features. Some of these features vary depending on the
specific way the system has been configured. Table 3.1 on page 19
summarizes the actions of each button.
Refer to the various configuration settings and how they affect
operation in Chapter 4, "M500 System Configuration," on page 20.
JCU II Joystick
The JCU II joystick can be moved left or right, forward and
back, and twisted in either direction. The joystick movement
is translated to control the pan/tilt position of the camera and
the zoom setting of the camera.
The right and left joystick buttons on the top of the joystick
are used to select and navigate when in the on-screen-
display menus and the JCU Power Menu.
Video Tracking—Use the right joystick button to enable and
engage video tracking with the M500 system. Use the left
joystick button to stop tracking.
Tilting the Camera
The camera has two tilt modes: Gaming and Pilot. When in Gaming mode (the default), moving
the joystick forward tilts the camera up; moving the joystick back tilts the camera down.
When in Pilot mode, moving the joystick forward causes the camera to tilt down; moving the
joystick back causes the camera to tilt up.
See “User Interface Menu” on page 28 for details about this settings.
Rotating the Camera
Use the joystick to rotate the camera to the left and right. Push the joystick to the right and the
camera will pivot to the right. Push the joystick to the left and the camera will pivot left.
Zooming the Camera
Twisting the joystick causes the camera to zoom in (clockwise) or zoom out (counterclockwise).

Immediate Action Menu Buttons
Some features are directly accessible from the main menu. Selecting one of the menu buttons
below invokes the action immediately and closes the OSD menu.
Tracker: When the Tracker is enabled pressing the Menu button will open the Tracker
contextual menu. You can set the Tracking box to show or not show when the Tracker is engaged
(actively tracking a target).

Surveillance: When the camera is in surveillance mode, it pans continuously left and right,
until it is taken out of surveillance mode or until the JCU II is used to move the camera. The
camera does not automatically resume panning; enable surveillance again by pressing a
programmed User button or selecting it again in the main menu.
When Surveillance is selected from the Settings menu or the Menu button on the JCU II is pressed
when in Surveillance mode, the following OSD menu is shown.
Scan Width: In surveillance mode, the Scan Width determines the range of horizontal azimuth
(pan) covered by each scan. The choices are:
Small: The camera scans from approximately 20o left and right of center
(40o total).
Medium: The camera scans from approximately 40o left and right of center
(80o total).
Large: The camera scan covers 80o to the left and right of center
(160o total). The default scan width is wide.
Note: The center of the scan pattern is determined by the direction the camera is pointing when
surveillance is enabled. The scan pattern is not centered about the home position, unless the
camera is in the home position when surveillance is enabled.
Scan Speed: In surveillance mode, the scan speed determines how quickly the camera scans
back and forth. The choices are fast, medium, and slow. The scan speed is affected by the zoom
state (scans at a slower rate when zoomed in).
NMEA: Select this option to enable or disable the processing of messages using the NMEA
interface. The factory default setting is disabled. All messages are ignored when NMEA Mode is
disabled even if the specific message types are enabled. See “NMEA Settings” on page 30.
Spotlight: Select this option and then select one of the active spotlight modes (On, Flash,
SOS). The Spotlight turns on in the selected mode. A user programmable button (UPB) can be
programmed as Spotlight on/off or as Signal Light to control the light. When set to Signal Light, the
UPB will turn on the Spotlight when pressed and turn off the Spotlight when released.

Set Az & El zero reference: Icons on the video show the direction the camera is facing in
relation to an outline of a ship. The M500 camera has a “forward” direction adjustment which has
been set at the factory. After the camera is installed, both the azimuth and elevation should be set
to account for variations required during installation so that the icons on the video show the
expected angular position of the camera. The azimuth direction should be directly toward the front
of the vessel; the elevation may be set to the horizon or another user preferred reference.
1. Using the JCU II, point the camera directly ahead and choose an elevation reference point.
For example, place the horizon in the center of the video.
2. Press the Menu button to turn the OSD menu on.
3. Navigate to Set-up Menu, Calibration &
diagnostics…, then select Set Az & El zero
reference.
4. Select Set origin to set the azimuth and elevation
offsets.
5. Verify that the icons on the video correspond to the
direction the camera is pointing.
